I'd pay $27 to never have to hear about that ridiculous shite again.

If it would make them shut up, gladly. Problem is, it won’t be enough and they’ll ask for round 2.

Sounds good, I can’t wait for Italy/Rome to pay reparations after enslaving my Germanic ancestors... Italy pay up!

No, for a simple reason.

It will be like a collections agency. Paying them ANYTHING means you acknowledge the debt and that they will step up attempts to collect because they know you will pay.

By contrast, people who ignore them or tell them off eventually get ignored because the chances of seeing any of that money are extremely slim.

But, it isn't "only $27". It is a recurring payment of $27.

Do away with all race based programs and I'll contribute $27 to five or six people.

It won't happen.

Do away with failing public schools
Do away with Food Stamps
Do away with Section 8
Do away with Afirmative Action

And on and on. We are already paying Reparations. They just don't call it that.

No. You give them anything and they’ll only come back for more.

So they are making the students pay for it? Makes sense.

Reparations are retarded. I'll certainly not voluntarily pay them.

My parents are 2nd generation Croatian and Czech imigrants.
